Contract flying?

[freight dork]

It's funny how the people who bash overseas contract flying are the people who have never done it. The best move I ever made was leaving my US 121 carrier and going on contracts. I make the same pay as a 10 United FO. In Dec I flew 55 hours with 5 overnights and Christmas off, and that was a normal month for me. I'll also have my house in the US paid off in less than five years and then I can move back to the US and afford to take the pay cut to go work for a US airline. I wouldn't trade the experiences I've had, people I've met, and places I've seen for a boring US airline job. Best of luck.

Thanks ICAO. Several have said the guys in Canada are a couple of crooks and will burn you. Never considered to look any farther.
Not sure the name of their company but getting it out might do some good to warn others.

How did you guess?

I just took a wild guess, albeit based on experience, and then decided it was best that the name be known specifically, so that others may be forewarned.
